What a great book! An insight into the lives of many women forgotten about through history. Not just a book for feminists in the making but a read for all. Ideal for Upper KS2 or lower KS3 onwards.

Elena Favilli is an immigrant woman, and so am I. I was very excited to see the latest book in the Rebel Girls series, and it was a joy.

America is known as the melting pot of cultures and ethnicities, this becoming even more evident and tangible as I leafed through the pages of the book.

The women I read about in this volume were all excellent examples of lives well lived, and ranged greatly in many ways. The information given was just enough to pique the interest of young minds but not gloss over these women. The illustrations were fabulous, really bringing these women off the pages and into my imagination.

A really important and inspiring book, one to buy for your own bookshelf but also a perfect gift, dare I say for any age.

This was a very interesting and informative book about 100 immigrant women from the past to the present and from many different countries. Some were well known, but many were not. Some were successful in their homeland and then moved, while others made a name for themselves in their new country and didn’t let their immigrants status hold them back from achieving their dreams.

These amazing women had success in many different fields such as neuroscientist, activist, bowler, poet, designer, politician, chef, computer scientist, entrepreneur, sports commentator, sculptor, architect journalist, lawyer, ornithologist, mathematician, conductor, photographer, philosopher physician, billiards player, and judoka.

I loved the quotes associated with these women as well as the beautiful illustrations. I think young children, especially girls, will find these women inspirational and empowering role models. This book was well written and the reading level suited its targeted audience.

An ARC was given for an honest review.

This is another excellent addition to this series. The stories are inspiring and short enough to be accessible to all students, whether reading alone or being read aloud. They are detailed enough to pull you in but not too wordy and are therefore lovely to dip in and out of. My only gripe with these particular books in this genre is the title. If we are trying to share the stories of these incredible women as far as possible, stating that the stories are 'for girls' isn't going to help encourage anyone outside of that group to read them. Surely stories are for everyone?

I received a digital early release of this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. Each page tells the story of a different woman who left her home country and did extraordinary work in her new country. The stories were well-written and included a quote from the subject. Also, each page is illustrated by a different person; beautiful images!

Highly recommend!

Gorgeous illustrations accompany info-packed single page bios of women from all over the world making a difference in many many ways. There are scientists, entertainers, designers and philosophers. Most kids will recognize at least a few of the amazing women profiled here.
I think young readers may use this as a jumping off point to read more about these fascinating women.

This is a great book. Visually it is very inviting and has wonderful artwork accompanying each story. I really enjoyed the wide range of experiences the women in this book lived, and appreciated the diversity shown in the book. This installment of the series focuses specifically on immigrants and I appreciated the stories show a variety of immigrant experiences with different reasons why these women moved, different time periods they lived in, and wide assortment of countries they moved to and from. Overall it is an engaging and empowering book.

I loved this book, it was such a fun and interesting book about immigrants women. There are moments in our time in which we should remember what we have done and what we should do and that most of us are descendants of immigrants from Africa some of there free will some by force.

Ok, it's difficult to write a review of this book because I have mixed feelings and my brain and my heart are having a conversation like this:

I: the book is cute.
B: guess so.
I: The women are inspirational and the illustrations were made by artists from all over the world. The artwork is so well done; I want this in hardback. And don't forget it talks about migration.
B: …
I: And you can include some biographies in your classes…
B: B-but I had trouble with the privileged women portrayed in the book.
I: Yes, but can you, for a second, think about the variety of cultures presented in the book?! All different backgrounds from every single one of the women? You love to read about all of this! Don't you read a book last week about China? …
B: I KNOW. But I can't stop thinking about Poniatowska, you know what I think about her. My opinion is not going to change.
I. That's the problem? You dislike only one woman in all the book?
B: ….
B: Look, I didn't know fifth part of the women included in the book.
I: Well, I did a little research.
B: So?
I: Did you know Elisabeth Kübler-Ross developed the five stages of grief and she inspired the creation of hospice systems? And Maria Goeppert-Mayer was the second woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics?
B: ….
B: They migrated because her husbands were from the US.
I: That's not the point, B.
B: What else?
I: Noor Inayat Khan was a spy during WWII and was killed by the Nazis. Muzoon Almellehan is the younger person to became a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF! Pnina Tamano-Shata is the first Ethiopian woman to became a member of the Israel's Parliament! Susan Polgár is a chess champion! Sau Lan Wu's team contributed to the discovery of the Higgs boson! (I know you like science.)
B: …
I: Lina Bo Bardi, Elizabeth Nyamayaro, Emilie Snethlage, Julieta Lanteri, Josephine Baker, Indra Devi, Ilhan Omar, Hazel Scott, Gerda Taro, Geraldine Cox, Frieda Belinfante, Jawahir Roble. You can think about them.
B: ….
I: Ok, now I'm angry. Can you say A THING that you liked about the book?
B: Well…. Like, I didn't know about Lorella Praeli, she's from Perú. And the Guatemalan Lupe Gonzalo. Sandra Cauffman works for the NASA and she's from Costa Rica. All of them are Latin representations… in the US.
I: Ok, I see a patron…
B: … Sara Mazrouei is a planetary scientist.
I: I KNEW you love space stuff.
B: ....
I: That’s all? You only like four people?
B: Five, I loved the determination of Turia Pitt…
I: For God's sake.
B: Ok, fine. Let's finish this stuff here. Let's admit you didn't really enjoy the book and you are only saying this because you love women representation to young audiences. And empowering little girls!
I: I thought that was the intention of reading this book!!
B: YES!
I: ....
B: Ok, bye.



(thanks for the opportunity to read this book. i didn't enjoy it like i would wanted, but i know other people will.)

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Immigrant Women Who Changed the World will make a marvelous addition to my classroom library. I think the single page format will work great with reluctant readers. I have been looking for short biographies to use as mentor text for a personal narrative unit, this fits the bill.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who had a dream. Thus start the 100 Good Night Stories, because every woman has been a girl at some time, as everyone starts out being a child, and thus the target audience can relate best to the short biographies presented of different people.

There is one thing all of these women have in common: They all immigrated at one point in their life, before or while doing different great things. The diversity of these people is incredible, there are artists, athletes, activists, so everyone can find a story that appeals to them.

Accompanied are the stories with a fitting illustration of it's protagonist, beautiful, colourful illustration - and my recommendation would be getting a physical copy as at least my program has difficulty processing all the data and loads very, very slowly.

So, do me a favour: Decide if you want to hear stories about badass people, and ignore that it says it's for girls. Yes, it is for girls, but not <i>only</i> for them. This non binary person would have liked to listen to these tales as a toddler.

I recieved a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.

This installment of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series focuses on 100 immigrant women who had a great impact all around the globe. This book highlights some well known women such as Anna Wintour and Rihanna, and some lesser known women such as Sandra Cauffman and Noor Inayat Khan who still made great impacts on the world. The one hundred women covered are very diverse and cover all different fields such as science, fashion, entertainment, and athletics. The bright illustrations do well to complement the text in this book. This book is great for all ages to learn more about extraordinary women around the world.

Filling a very large hole in the Middle-Grade biography section, we meet some of the seminal women who struggled against staggering odds to make contributions that have affected all of us.

Honestamente, solo pedí este libro porque estaba más interesada en ver las ilustraciones y descubrir nuevas ilustradoras en el mundo. Sin embargo, la importancia de las mujeres inmigrantes es innegable. Ojalá sirva, aunque sea un poco para entender la realidad de la inmigración.

I highly recommend this book as a classroom and school library resource. Conversations about identity and the value of all learners are essential, and this book is a wonderful avenue for sharing these ideas.

I was invited to review an early copy of the third instalment of the bestselling Good Night Stories series. This time the stories and illustrations concentrate on women who emigrated from their country of birth. Among those 100 women are very well known names such as Rihanna or Madeleine Albright.

Personally, I enjoyed the stories of less well-known-to-me women like Lupe Gonzalo (Migrant Farmer and Labour Organiser from Guatemala), or football referee Jawahir Jewels Roble (from Somalia) far more than the stories of Diane von Fürstenberg or Gloria Estefan.

The outstanding illustrations in this book were made by 70 artists identifying as women from all over the world. A list of all the names is included in the back of the book.

An empowering read that shouldn’t be missing on any shelf.

This is an absolutely brilliant book and collection. The individuals within this book are from a variety of cultures and talents and this is a perfect encouragement for individuals of all ages.
The art is absolutely beautiful and I would recommend this book to anyone.

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Immigrant Women Who Changed the World has been one of those books that left me with a great learning and I tell you that this book has as its content (in case you do not know) the biography of 100 immigrant women from different branches in which they specialize and from different nationals and of course it has illustrations of these women to give us an idea of ​​how they really are.

Personally, I really enjoyed this book, it was super informative and full of Girl Power; And I mention this because the book is counted as in a fairy tale format, that is, the term "Once upon a time ..." is used and to tell the truth this makes the reader super hook on the book and wants to know more about the women who were included in this book, we are informed of their names, the date of birth, where they are from and where they went to live a new life and with it what goals they achieved, their achievements and even their actions that gave a great I change the world and not only that, but also the thinking of all people.

Personally I was made a book with a super fluid and addictive rhythm, and I really liked what the author did, I talk about combining the "fairy tale" style with a more modern writing style, I think this book is one of those that everyone read and recommend to everyone.

It should be noted that you read this book in one sitting and do not know when you will have finished it. It has a heart attack illustrations that you feel or in my case it made me imagine women in all their splendor (I leave some photos here for you to see) it even gave me the feeling of knowing that I wanted to know more about them.

Even in the illustrations they have one of their phrases that they have said and of which they are recognized for it, in fact I had my favorites.

What else can I tell you apart from the fact that I love this book, that I even enjoy it more than I would have imagined and of course I want to have it in physical form and I very much longed for the publication date to acquire it.

Inspiring, not only for the numerous ways these women have achieved their dreams, but also for advocating the immeasurable value Immigrants bring.

What a perfect time for this wonderful book. Just like the first two books in the Rebel Girl series, it's filled with such exceptional, inspiring women. I love these books and can not wait to get this book in store.
